Farmina Technology & Innovations:

Farmina believes that technology can improve the quality of products and are continually investing in the latest innovations. Farmina uses two unique technologies along with a special packaging process to improve the quality of their products while also preserving their naturalness.

Twin Screw Extrusion Process:

• Mainly used in food production for humans such as pasta, biscuits, etc
• Activates a mechanical process that ensures better gelatinization of starch by increasing the digestibility of ingredients by 20-25% (compared to single screw systems)
• Results in lower denaturing of nutrients and an increase in digestibility

Vacuum Coater:

• Achieves a homogenous integration of lipids (fats) throughout each Farmina kibble
• Allows for the inclusion of vitamins at lower temperatures which prevents thermal stress
• Results in vitamins that are effective for longer periods of time enabling the achievement Farmina’s concept of “Long Life Vitamins”

Cold Infusion Technology Protective Atmospheric Packaging:

• Nitrogen gas is used during packaging to displace any oxygen that is present to avoid fat oxidation and, therefore, rancidity.
• Guarantees the preservation of nutrients over time by isolating kibbles from the outside world
• This method is used in human food packaging

Strict Control for Highest Quality Assurance:

• Strict controls are used to maximize organoleptic and nutritional quality of Farmina’s food
• System monitors the entire production cycle from supplier selection to passage of raw materials and continues through manufacturing process and ends with strict monitoring of the finished product
• Raw materials are regularly checked by team of experts
• Each production batch is subjected to an in-depth analysis that can sometimes last up to 18 months
• Strict audit process ensures that all raw materials come from certified suppliers
• Tracking of every production run so that intervention can promptly take place if necessary and reconstruct the history of each package of food
• Use of NIR (Near Infrared) allows real-time analysis of all raw materials and finished products that are ready for shipment
• Internal labs receive support from independent labs regarding all aspects of food safety
• Particular attention given to all activities to ensure the absence of mycotoxins and aflatoxins

”Just in Time” Food Produced On Order:

• Provide freshly cooked, high-quality food product only produced only after one of their partners places an order
• Typically, when Farmina food reaches a consumer it is only four days old
• Results in products that are always fresh, at their peak nutritionally and have the best organoleptic qualities
• Efficient workflow means no deposit or stock are kept on-hand so that Farmina can continue to offer high-quality products
